  • W530 Color Calibration Issue

    Every month I re-calibrate my display using the COLOR by PANTONE Color Calibrator (v1.1.0).
    I tried doing it today and kept getting this error, even though the tone for successful calibration always goes off:
    Link to picture
    I'll try to calibrate the screen once, but it will fail.  When I try a second time, it will also fail, and give me the error seen above.  If I try a third time, I finally get the three failure tones and the software simply closes itself.
    Is this a hardware issue?  A driver issue?  Are there any solutions for this?  
    Recently updated my computer.  Windows 7 64-bit.

    Hi again, crmichae
    What updates have you recently done to your machine? I did some research and found two highly relevant updates for your machine in general, and this issue more specifically. If you haven't already updated them, I found drivers for both your BIOS and the your graphics card that  have been released recently and are a good place to start with helping this issue. The graphics driver can be found here and the BIOS can be found here.
    Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes,

  • W530 Color Calibrator does not start

    Fresh install of Win 7 (64 bit) on W530.
    Applied all the latest drivers including the latest Xrite driver
    Calibrator appears to open correctly but at the 'Measure' point of the process .. nothing happens.
    No lights, no beep ... nothing.
    I have the Xrite window directly to cover the sensor.
    Any ideas?

    I solved my own problem, with a helpful post getting me to the (not so obvious) screen to select windows management for color:

  • Pantone Color Calibrator Will Not Launch

    I have a ThinkPad W530 with color sensor and Pantone Color Calibrator. It has worked just fine since I got the computer brand-new over a year ago. For the last week or so, my color calibrator has failed to launch when I click on the "ThinkPad Display needs to be re-profiled" notification. I get the spinning icon, but after a few moments it just disappears. I've tried doing a restore, and chosen a time-point before I think this happened. But the system refuses to go back to that restore point because it "can't find a file." What the ????? I have not deleted any files from the system folders, I can only believe that one of my automatic updates has screwed this up. Of course, the message does not tell me what *kind* of file is missing.
    I'm attempting a download and re-install of the Pantone Color Calibrator Program
    pantone_color_calibrator_setup_v1_2_0_6455.exe from this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS015010.
    Hoping that will work, but has anyone else encountered this issue? And what did it turn out to be?
    I'll report back on the results of the re-install, and thanks for any pother assistance.
    Solved!

    Well, what the Color Calibrator program really does is to create an ICC profile for your monitor, and you can manually set each profile you've created by:
    Right clicking on your desktop - select Screen Resolution - Advanced Settings and finally the Color Management Tab.
    In the Color Management window, you can see all the ICC profiles that have been created by the Color Calibrator, as well as the default ICC profile for the ThinkPad LCD. You can add remove these at your own leisure.

  • W701 with Pantone Color Calibrator Program

    Hi all,
    I read, that for the ThinkPad W520, W530, W540 is a newer color-calibration-program "Pantone Color Calibrator".
    The W701 isn't remarked as a compatible system, which I find a little bit strange.
    At the official driver-download of the W701 isn't any color-caliobration program.
    I has an old version of Huey-Pro, which is a very old version only for WIndows 7, but also runs under Windows 8.1 - sometimes with some problems.
    Therefore my question:
    Does anybody know, if the newer Pantone Color Calibrator also runs with the W701?
    Thanks a lot,
    Klaus Zaeper
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I tested it now:
    The Pantone Color Calibrator program doesn't work with the Lenovo W701 Color-Sensor.
    So you've to use the Huey Pro-Program (marked as compatibel on WIndows 7, but is also working under WIndows 8.1), downloadable from the official Lenovo-driver-site.

  • W520 External Color Calibrator stopped working with updated Pantone v1.1 software

    Can someone from Lenovo help me with this issue? Lenovo updated the color calibrator software in Aug 2012. They broke an external color calibrator working. L1/2 has been completely unhelpful. I also escalated to customer service with little result except that they say it is not Lenovo software and they do not have to support it! Unacceptable, the software isprovided by Lenovo. Lenovo doc also says an external color calibrator is supported. Lenovo needs to take responsibility for fixing this. Here are the email chains. I really want a refund or someone to ensure this package that Lenovo distributes is fixed!
     Thanks for your help.

    Hi Kelli,
    I do not want this case closed and disagree. This is Lenovo provided software and according to Lenovo an external calibrator is supported. I want someone to take responsibility for getting this fixed. Lenovo has provided this software and needs to work with the vendor to ensure it works. Who do I need to speak to in management? I do not appreciate the way support has just shuttled this around and nothing has gotten done.

    Please be advised that I have taken this case assigned to Doris. Lenovo is not able help you with this issue, We cannot provide support for a third party product.  The calibrator you are using is supported by X-Rite; any issues with the device need to be addressed by them,
    I am sorry for your frustration however Lenovo has exhausted all means to help with a non-hardware issue. At this time Lenovo is closing this case.

Can someone have a look at the Pantone 1.1 package. I am using an eye one display calibrator with the updated Pantone software and the calibration does not work. I get an error about an 8 bit image missing (have attached a screenshot). The calibration is not correct and Windows Photoviewer is pink. This was working OK with the v1.0 of the software (no longer on the w520 driver page). The error message is "There was an error loading the specified profile. Please make sure the image has an embedded profile and it is an 8-bit image." This was working fine before the update to v1.1. Thanks

    I am getting the runaround!!!
    Hi Doris,
    I just left you a voice mail. One of the reasons I bought this laptop was for 3d photography. If I cannot use an external color calibrator and display then the laptop is not fit for purpose for the reasons I bought it. This software is ONLY available from Lenovo. According to Lenovo’s own doc, and the software’s doc, an external color calibrator is SUPPORTED. Lenovo needs to step to the plate and fix this. Not ME. If Lenovo needs to go to Pantone, or x-rite, then they Need to do that. Lenovo provided software that is not available to the public from x-rite or Pantone, and the software is to support Lenovo provided hardware (least so far as the internal calibrator), this software ALSO supports an external calibrator for use with an external display. The software supports both internal and external, and I would like to use my external display for 3d photography. This needs to be fixed please.
    What are we going to do to resolve this? At his point of the runaround I’ve been getting I would like a complete refund.
    Thanks,
    Christopher

    Hi Kelli,
    As you know the ‘software’ purchase is by virtue of purchasing the laptop with the color calibrator. Are you saying you will refund my cost for the calibrator? I don’t think you quite get how much time I have spent with support with this laptop. I have had multiple issues with the it. The calibrator, failed BT adapter, Sudden Shutdown syndrome (where the machine would just shutoff on its own –well documented in the Lenovo forums and I have at least a dozen emails on this issue) as well as many issues with the Displayport connection and an external 3d display for which I spent months working with Nvidia to resolve. This laptop has wasted a huge amount of my time. The support has been atrocious.
    I would like a refund for 1. The laptop 2. The external color calibrator I cannot use because the software from Lenovo does not work (this package is NOT available from x-rite as well –It is sold to Lenovo). I have a receipt for the color calibrator and would be happy to provide that.
    Thank you,

  • Color calibration

    Does the Apple Cinema Display 24-inch monitor require color calibration like any other monitor?
    I have a Spyder2Express but have not used it yet with this new screen.
    Anyone who calibrate their 24-inch screen from Apple?

    If the printer is is not printing the wrong colors ( green instead of yellow) or printing to dark. It would be printing within the range of function. One can calibrate the color though the toolbox. The toolbox tabs and how to use the toolbox is covered in pages 74-75 in the user manual. I hope that this helps.

  • Color calibration issues with Mavericks

    Hello All,
    I found my MBA's color calibration has changed dramatically after installing OS X Mavericks. The shared links, icons at doc etc. are highly saturated. Are you experiencing the same problem? How to solve this?

    Did anyone find a fix yet? I'm experiencing the same issues... In my case it possibly affects icons but also photos, and more remarkably so: colors appear too contrasted and saturated, especially reds. Crushed blacks, loss of detail in dark areas, and overall darker images. Both in Safari and when I browse and preview pics in Finder. For whatever reason, the color change is especially noticeable in thumbnails... This is unacceptable for me. I don't want any filters whatsoever. Anyone got a clue on how to reverse this behavior? Please Apple, fix this.

    I had a bit of a problem getting this colour calibrator to work when my new W520 arrived a few weeks ago.
    I am by no means an expert on this subject, so, take what I say with a grain of salt.
    It appears to me that the software that actually calibrates the colour does not come from Lenovo's website.  I went to this website: X-Rite Pantone Calibrator and downloade a small application from there.  I installed it, and now the calibrator works fine.  Below is a picture showing the product I downloaded.

  • Color Calibrator can't work properly due to display not filling screen.

    I have a Thinkpad W520 with the HD 1920x1080 display and the color sensor. I tried to run the Color Calibrator application but it always runs to completion but cannot process the measurements. So I opened the lid in the middle of a calibration and discovered that the color screen that is supposed to be viewed by the sensor is not full screen, thereby preventing the sensor from measuring the color. How can I set the graphics so that this app will display full screen when it runs? Thanks.

    Yes I am. But I just solved the problem. I had adjusted my display to show text, icons, etc at 150% of normal resolution. Somehow it was causing the application to display only a partial screen. I set the magnification to 125% and now the color calibrator works fine.

    I had this problem. I solved it by downloading the appropriate nvidia video drivers from the lenovo website and running them this way (installing both the nvidia and intel drivers separately) - downloading via the lenovo solution centre and system update software did not lead to the video drivers being installed correctly after the Windows 8.1 update, for some reason?

I tried downloading the software from Pantone, but it didn't seem to work(or am I downloading the wrong programme? Please help)  any kind souls willing to help me solve my problem and direct me to the right file? All your help is much appreciated.

    Hello JVlarc and nicolastai,
    I would like you to try and uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your color calibrator.
    Please go to Programs and features through the control panel.  I am not sure the exact name of the program but it will have HueyPRO Calibration in it.

  • W540 Color Calibration issue

    I've had my W540 for a couple of weeks now and initially it calibrated the color no problem with the built-in sensor and X-rite software.  However it is now time to re-calibrate and I get this message:
    "Display has been changed. Please run panel replacement utility to restore your ability to calibrate."
    The display hasn't been changed and I don't have this utility anywhere on my machine, nor can I find it in the downloads....anyone know what to do here (apart from sending the whole lot back to lenovo - the quality of the W540 is appauling, it arrived with a broken keyboard and as with everyone else if I had known about the touchpad I would have fought having this machine imposed upon me).

    I have a similar problem.  Within device manager it states Generic PnP monitor.  I am running Windows 8.1, and upgraded from Windows 8.0.  I cannot calibrate my screen - the software states that no sensor is present.  If I roll back to Windows 8.0, it all works fine.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Pantone software and the display drivers and it still doesnt work. 
    ****I just managed to solve this problem by downloading and installing the nvidia and intel graphics drivers seperately from the Lenovo website.  Color calibration works absolutley fine, and my monitor is listed within device manager as wide viewing angle and high density flexview display.  Downloading and letting them install using the Lenovo solution centre did not work.

  • What is the rationale behind the "Adobe Standard" color calibration profile?

    Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to make the most of the various color calibration profiles Adobe offers for my cameras with Lightroom 5. I do understand the purpose of the camera-specific options--they're designed to help approach camera JPEG processing mode colors. And they work wonderfully--they're very helpful!
    But I don't really understand the purpose of the "Adobe Standard" calibration option. What is it for? Why does it look the way it looks? Has it been designed to ease certain processing goals? To enhance certain colors or tonal combinations? Is it designed to be more accurate than the manufacturer profiles in some way? What can I do with "Adobe Standard" that I can't do with one of the camera-specific calibration options?
    I would find it *extremely* helpful if someone who's involved with the engineering behind Lightroom's color (or anyone else who's especially knowledgeable about Lightroom's design) might talk a little bit about why "Adobe Standard" looks the way it looks. What's it for? To what purposes can I leverage it?
    Thanks so much!

    Adobe Stadnard is the name for the individual profiles Adobe builds for each camera it receives. A new camera ships, Adobe gets their hands on one and builds a profile with that sample. It isn't suppose to mimic the in-camera JPEG settings, I don't believe it's supposed to mimic anything but instead produce what is (and quotes are super important in this context) the most 'accurate' color response from the target they use to create the profile. But here's the rub. Not all cameras from the same make and model behave identically. Adobe simply can't get piles of the same body and build then average that response. So they provide a means for you to build your own custom DNG camera profile and for differing illuminates. So if you want to leverage it, you'd get a target (MacBeth 24 patch, X-rite Passport) and build your own custom profile. It can really help depending on how your sensor deviates from the sensor Adobe got to build their profiles.
